Speaking after his meeting with lawmakers from the House of Representatives on Wednesday, Tifatul defended RIM and its BBM service, which has been seen as a "must-have application" among middle-class Indonesians.
"No, we don't have that plan," said Tifatul when asked on the possibility that the government could end the service on all BlackBerry smartphones.
"BlackBerry is a must for the Indonesian public because here it has 5 million users," he added.
The BBM service is viewed as the major factor in BlackBerry sales remaining robust in Indonesia. Many BlackBerry users throughout the country have felt reluctant to switch to other brands, due to the usefulness of the application.
Globally, however, the product is struggling to compete with Apple and Android smartphones.
